[boost] config, get_pointer, customization via ADL

I've been trying to use the get_pointer facility used by mem_fn
et. al in Boost.Python, and am finding several things:

   1. Getting it to work portably is nontrivial

   2. Users need compiler-specific instructions about how to:

         a. provide their own get_pointer
         b. invoke get_pointer in generic code

   3. Borland's config probably ought to have
      BOOST_NO_ARGUMENT_DEPENDENT_LOOKUP defined.

The enclosed seems to demonstrate all the issues.  Comments?
